The Rueslan censor has been keen enough
to ferret out at once Mr.. George Kennan's
powerful articles on the ways OF his country
In Siberia. Not daring 70 prohibit the
enormous circulation, he therefore causes
every number OF the CENTURY TO be de-
nvered mutilated. The horrible picture OF
Russian provincial prisons, which almost
outdoes In atrocity the famous Black Hole
OF Calcutta, In the present issue can
scarcely be more to his Hiking.
The number opens with a portrait OF
RuslSin, who looks like prophetic seer In
a disheyeled, somewhat dreary state OF
mind. To most OF his Views. Prof. Stillman
takes outspoken exception, but yet leaves
him on the highest ideal pinnacle albeit
of strange superstrueture.
DR.. 5ehah gives an interesting study OF
the oataeombs, although calculating
nothing new.
The ine old actor John Gilbert deserves
his eneomlums, accompanied by NO less
than six portraits. "The Dusantes" at last
take the field In person. Perhaps, on tho
whole, nothing in the number gives greater
enjoyment than the description OF the de-
| scent OF the upper waters of the Missouri
with its engravinRs of wild passes and
| glorious eanons. This, however, is well
/ matched by 1.-THE Elk-hunt on the Plains"

HAMPERS for tho opening year calls atten-
ton to two strong and recent paintings by
John Lafarge in the Church Of the Incarna-
ton, New York. They tell the story OF the
wondrous event commemorated BY the
chureh's name. Several Alterations OF the
Magi" from the old masters, accompany all
illustrating the opening article. This Is
followed by rapid sketch Of the leaders
Of modern Italy with a score Of portraits,
These deputies, like English members Of
parliament, receive no pay, their almost
sole perquisite being general free pass
over the italian railways.
Amelie Rlves, the suddenly popular younG
story teller from Virginia, tells OF a luisoe'
having, repentant, mad little girl. A sketch
of Savannah, Georgia, speaks Of the notably
high-bred courtesy Of the men and refined
attractiveness OF the women. Main avenue

Certainly the official head Of the fishing
interests OF the United States should be
man who knows all about fish, This 10
the first and paramount requisite. The
post is not political one. 1t is hardly
conceivable that fish commissioner
should weld much party influence. II
he is the right man for the place, an
earnest, live, thorough, progressive
ichthyologist and pisoicu.turist, he will
have very little time or inclination for
any business outside of his official duties.
We do not know that there is the least
danger Of any place hunter eating the
appointment to the vacancy which it is

proper that all persons more or less
directly interested in fish should take an
advisory part on behalf Of the appoint
ment OF one who is known to them to be
practical man. The fact that Colonel
Marshall Mcdonald has been engaged in
this work for nearly 10 years under the
late Professor Baird is q valuable testi-
monial to his fitness for the office.

al remember" said an old physician
Of Baltimore, lately, ''that Travelled
in 1888 in n stage coach across the
Allegheny mountains from Cumber-
land to the Ohio river. In the coach
were two friends, young men and law
yers, who were getting out to settle In
Western Pennsylvania. We became
well acquainted in the long, leisurcly
journey. Both of my fellow-travelers
were men of ability and culture; both
had good breeding and kindly DISPOSE
ton. But their temperaments were
widely different. c. never joked,
and rarely smiled. If laughable
story was told, he listened silently,
thought over it an hour, and then be-
gan to argue against its probability. If
the morning was cloudy, he was sure
of storm before night; if the harness
broke. he was positive we would be de-
tanned all day; if the coachmaE drove
fast, he knew the man was drunk, and
that our necks would be broken.
M, on the contrary, was merry,
light-hearted fellow, full of anecdote
and quick repartec. The weather was
always delightful for him, the meals
delicious, his companions the finest
company in the world. He saw every
point in the landscape. every fine out
line in the trees. or tint in the fields.
He was like bee, gathering n drop of
honey here, another there. His COM
rade never knew that there was honey
to gather When they left us. l said:
There goes one man to success; the
other TO defeat.

they settled. and asked their history,
being anxious to know whether my
prophecy had been correct. NJ is
still living, n leading jurist, man Of
great and benignant influence c.
was dead. Worried himself into the
grave said an old man who remem-
bered him."
The rule is unfailing-given two men
of equal talents, health and fortune;
the one who laughs will live longer
than the other, and accomplish more
work in the world. Gayety of tempera-
ment usually comes at birth, but cheer
fulness can be cultivated.
at is the only virtue" the late
James Fields used to say, "that you
should affect, if You have it not. So
much you owe to your neighbor."

sistently cheerful face to the world,

1t was at the Innings counter at GER
tain store. and seven women were
seated on the stools in front of the
counter buying Innings. The patient
statesmen listened to their discussions
and their monoloques, answered their
inquiries and patiently changed their
orders to suit their whims, Suddenly
a blithe yet quiet little lady appeared
with a bit of gray cheviot in her hand.
One of the statesmen, who was waiting
for lady in black satin gown to
determine whether she would have
